Passing of Roland Allen


June 9 marks the 1947 death of Roland Allen. While this date is 76 years removed from today, the influence of Allen remains strong. Sadly, many missionaries, missiologists, church and mission leaders–including many Anglicans–know little about Allen and his beliefs.

If you have been on my site for any length of time, then you know there are a few posts on Allen here. To help understand how we have been shaped by this often forgotten figure, just know “You Might be a Roland Allen Fan If. . .”

June would be a great time to read (or re-read) Missionary Methods: St. Paul’s or Ours? and The Spontaneous Expansion of the Church.

Maybe this video on my YT channel will be of help as well.
